Mina stole the book of spells and GLOSSARYCK!

P.S. To these days I still don't get why they made the episode "Junkin Janna" 😅😂 it was so pointless!!! I'm glad that while I was writing this I accidentally found a way to reconnect some things and make that boring episode functional 😊

I’ve watched “Star VS The Forces of Evil” episodes 11-12 season 4. The first part of the first part is about Marco finally becoming a knight. It turns out that he doesn’t want to be one and doesn’t want to choose an occupation for the whole life and even starts thinking of coming back to Earth. In the second part (Spoilers!) somebody kidnaps Eclipsa, so, Star, Marco, Janna and Pony-Head are trying to find her while Pony streams everything online. The whole thing turns out to be a segment of “Pony-Head Show” and attempts to make Eclipsa popular. This time it works. The first part of the second episode is of the surface about Tom and Jenna having some fun together doing “boot sliding”, but if you dig a little deeper it’s about Mina Loveberry collecting some giant armour (that’s where the boot was from) and Magical High commission suspecting Eclipsa was using some strong dark magic in her castle. Interesting. The last part shows us some Wand insides. We get to know that spells from all the queens live there in different rooms and now Eclipsa’s spells hunt a “Spell with no name” which destroys other spells. With the help of a narwhal, they catch this spell but it’s still there. Hope it’s going to play its role later.

Junkin’ Janna and the Future

okay. A lot happened this week’s episodes and more importantly a lot happened to set up the endgame relationships. But I want to talk specifically about Junkin’ Janna and this significance of the message of this episode

Let there be no mistake this was definitely a Jantom episode. And I made another post earlier this week abut the foreshadowing of Jantom. Now its become even clearer. But a specific scene in this episode showed what the future was gonna be for one specific couple. And I’m talking about Startom.

This episode was about letting go of certain things in order to move forward in life. Which is exactly what ended up happening for both Tom and Janna. However, on was more significant than the other. 

Throughout the episode Janna shows annoyance about Tom’s constant need to check in on Star and ignoring what they were just doing. She wasn't annoyed with him. But his unhealthy obsession with Star. Right when he’s starting to get out of his shell he goes back to texting and sending selfies to Tom. This sets up the ultimate climax at the end of the episode. 

Janna on the other hand revels that she only brought Tom along to blast a bird who’s been taking her cool stuff every time she finds something. at the end of this episode this all changes. 

The scene of significance and The end of Tomstar

When Tom and Janna got into Butterfly castle in order to get Janna’s boot back But that decisions come from a very interesting thing Janna says “Look, I need my booth and you need your compact.”  Tom and her work together in order to get her boot back and they get along quite nicely. 

However things don't go as planned and the bird turns out to be monster creature and then attacks Janna. 

Janna then decides that the boot isn’t worth it. She just wants to leave and to live. so she leaves that desire behind. This isn't that surprising given that Janna just wants to live. But this is important because Janna said before entering the castle that she “needs” her boot and Tom “needs” his compact.

But what is surprising is what happens directly after

Tom goes in front of Janna to save her. But what he uses is his phone the same phone that he has been using to keep in contact with Star throughout the episode. Now I’ve talked about phones in a previous post and how they foreshadowed romance with their phone cases. I talked about how Janna’s phone case replicated many things in Tom’s underworld. But I didn't see anything out the ordinary with Tom’s can that pointed to anything in particular romance wise. But that’s because its not what was on the case that mattered, but what was on the inside of the screen that did. 

Tom using his phone itself is significant because of that fact alone. But what really sets in stone my conclusion is the fact that Star’s name is explicitly on the screen with a new text from her. 

But that’s not all. In the phone above you see a crack in the keyboard alone. But a second later, the whole phone screen shatters. This marks the nd of Star and Tom’s relationship. Tom gave up his phone but he also gave up Star in order to protect Janna. And this also proves that they didn't “need” that stuff. But really each other

And by the look on Janna’s face, she’s just as shocked as we are. 

That moment changes everything. Janna sees Tom in a new light. Her face doesn't change for a good couple of moments after he saves her She’s in genuine shock about what just happened and what Tom did for her. Things. have. changed. Between the both of them and Janna is the only one who can see the truth in that immediately. Tom still isn't aware of what exactly has changed.

Now. What does this mean? What does Janna have to do with Tom and Star’s breakup?

The answer to both questions is very interesting. What does this mean? Star and Tom’s relationship is at the end of their line and will come to an end soon. 

What does Janna have to do with the breakup? Nothing directly. This episode just shows that the chemistry between Janna and Tom is very strong and very reminiscent of Star and Marco’s relationship in season one. Janna has nothing to do what why Star and Tom will break up. But she does have everything to do what what will happen after. 

This episode exists for a reason. Their interactions are reminiscent for a reason. Tom and Janna we ill become a couple in the future after Tom and Star break up. and I think that their romantic development will most likely happen in "Jannanigans.” 

Overall, This episode was about Tom and Janna letting go of something they though they needed. They fought and argued over these things. But when it came down to eminent danger they dropped all those things and focused on each other and keeping each other safe. Tom more so than Janna because Janna is used to taking care of herself and didn’t expect anything from Tom. Once again this is very much like season one Starco. Janna’s face in that last photo proves that she wasn’t expecting Tom to do anything for her but is grateful none the less. and in the final shots of the episode we see that Janna and Tom's body language has changed from acquaintance to something else.

We now see that Janna’s feelings for Tom really has changed. I wouldn't say it’s romantic as of yet. But that's what "Jannanigans" is for.

My thoughts on The Knight Shift and Junkin’ Janna

Just so we can be clear, these are my thoughts and point of view, it doesn’t mean it’s the only and right way to interpret the story until this far.

As I’ve posted some weeks ago, I knew there was no need to be disappointed about Curse of the Blood Moon and Marco and Star’s relationship. The fact that Tom, Marco and Star overcame a magic bond which was resulted by an unhealthy narrative is a good thing. After all, they were forced to be destined together. Breaking this spell, the three of them, was the right action. Because now they can relate to each other in a natural way, which was proved in The Knight Shift.

Marco will leave Mewni someday. After all, he has a life, soon he will be a big bro-bro. It doesn’t mean he won’t be with Star. They are trying to figure out a way to keep in touch because their bond is this strong. They like each other, as much as Star likes Tom. Of course, she doesn’t want Marco to leave, but she understands his reasons. She would feel the same if she had to leave Mewni to live with Marco for the rest of her life.

That’s precisely what this episode is all about. Marco doesn’t want to make a commitment that will determine the rest of his life. Although he isn’t a teenager anymore - since he lived decades in the Neverzone, no one should make decisions that could determine our entire futures (which is pretty much what we do when we choose our professions, for instance).

He can’t be forced to fulfill an oath. He wants to be with Star by his own choice, when he feels it’s right. And this, this is what a healthy relationship means.

And speaking of which... I believe this is the main plot for Junkin’ Janna. Star and Tom were having a hard time to spend quality time apart. That’s why they couldn’t get over their compacts. But when you’re in a relationship, you need to find balance because your life doesn’t become the other. It doesn’t mean they like each other less than before. They support their personal moments with other people because, well, everyone needs personal space. This is actually growth, for both of them. And Star isn’t even jealous because Tom had fun. She’s happy for him and she trusts him.

I love how svtfoe is portraying romantic relationships in such a natural way. If you scratch only the surface, you may miss these precious little things. But what I can read from these episodes is that they’re building a beautiful bond which should be an example for all of us. Not only children or teenagers. We all have something to learn.

Maybe this is me, being a little tendentious, but I can clearly see Star and Marco figuring out how to fall in love all over again, without external forces pushing them to do it so, and Tom being included in this journey as well.

This show is so precious.

Janna: I want to marry someone who can raise the dead.

Star: *use a spell to bring back Chester Bennington* Bam I brought back Chester Bennington from the dead. *holds wedding ring up to Janna* Marry me?

Janna: Ok?

[mindareadsoots]

Ya know, I was just about to say that I wonder why Tom is hanging out with just Janna instead of Star or Marco, and apparently he’s not entirely sure either.

Come to think of it, I think this is literally the first time in the entire series we’ve seen Tom do anything that didn’t involve Star or Marco in some way.
